    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      The <filename>gbp.conf</filename> configuration files provide
      default global options and specific options for individual &gbp;
      commands.  All files have the same format as described below and
      are parsed in the above order from top to bottom with increasing
      precedence.
    </para>
    <para>
      Each file consists of either zero or one default section, and
      zero or one sections for each &gbp; command. Additionally, there
      can be an arbitrary number of
      <option>remote-config</option> sections.  Comments start with a
      hash sign (<option>#</option>). The syntax is:
    </para>
<programlisting>
    [DEFAULT]
    # This section is for global settings. Affects all commands
    key = value

    [&lt;command&gt;]
    # Specific sections for each command, like <command>buildpackage</command>
    key = value

    [remote-config &lt;name&gt;]
    # Specific sections for a remote configuration. This can be used several
    # times to set up remote configuration for <command>gbp create-remote-repo</command>
    key = value
</programlisting>
<para>
  The sections for each command are named like the command (without &gbp;) surrounded
  by square brackets (e.g. <option>[buildpackage]</option>).
  For backwards compatibility, command sections starting with <filename>git-</filename> or
  <filename>gbp-</filename> are also supported but will provoke a warning when parsed by
  &gbp;.
</para>

<para>
  The <option>key=value</option> pairs of the command sections are
  named like the command-line options of the corresponding command
  with the '--' stripped off and can hold the same values (but see
  below for details). For example,
  the <xref linkend="man.gbp.buildpackage"/> manual page documents
  the <option>--git-export-dir</option>=<parameter>directory</parameter>
  option which can be turned into configuration file setting by
  dropping the
  <option>--git</option> prefix:
</para>

<programlisting>
    [buildpackage]
    export-dir = directory
</programlisting>

<para>
  Options that can be repeated on the command line take Python-like
  lists in the config file. For example,
  the <xref linkend="man.gbp.import.orig"/> command has the
  <option>--filter</option>=<parameter>pattern</parameter> option
  which can be turned into a configuration file option like this:
</para>

<programlisting>
    [import-orig]
    filter = [ '.svn', '.hg' ]
</programlisting>

<para>
Boolean options can be either <option>True</option> or <option>False</option>. For example,
<xref linkend="man.gbp.import.orig"/> has the <option>--pristine-tar</option> and
<option>--no-pristine-tar</option> options which translate to:
</para>
<programlisting>
    [import-orig]
    pristine-tar = True
</programlisting>

<para>and</para>

<programlisting>
    [import-orig]
    pristine-tar = False
</programlisting>
<para>respectively.</para>
<note>
<para>
  To see the current set of values that would be applied after parsing the
  configuration files, use <xref linkend="man.gbp.config"/>.
</para>
</note>
<note>
<para>
 <command>gbp import-dscs</command> and <command>git-pbuilder</command>
can't be configured via <filename>gbp.conf</filename>.
</para>
</note>

<para>
<xref linkend="man.gbp.create.remote.repo"/> can additionally parse remote site
configurations from <filename>gbp.conf</filename>. For example, a configuration like:
</para>

<programlisting>
[remote-config pkg-libvirt]
# Location of the repository
remote-url-pattern = ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-libvirt/%(pkg)s
# Template dir to passed to git-init
template-dir = /srv/alioth.debian.org/chroot/home/groups/pkg-libvirt/git-template
</programlisting>

<para>
can be used to create remote repositories for the pkg-libvirt project using:
</para>

<programlisting>
gbp-create-remote-repo --remote-config=pkg-libvirt
</programlisting>

<para>
This can be useful if you're often creating new remote repositories for
different projects.
